!--The beginning of the chapter-- This is a tough cavalry team of more than 600 people. The riders on the horse are all weathered by the weather. Under their thick woolen windproof cloaks are the long velvet lapels of various leather jackets. Some of them are The soldiers also wore the unique horns and armor of the Eight Banners. Judging from the bright style, they were all equipped by officers.
As for the war horses under their crotches, they are even more impressive, and many of them are imported famous stallions. If the patrolling veterans don't rub their eyes with the sand, they are not good people.
"Where is the gentleman on the other side from? This is the territory of Aihui City, and in front is Shen'an Ridge..."
There was a crisp crack, and the whip exploded just three inches above the veteran's nose. The soldiers around him trembled in fright, and the first general, who looked like an iron tower, pulled down the scarf that covered his face and revealed a determined look.
"Nonsense, I still don't know this is Shen'an Mountain? Damn you, I've been on this post road countless times... Notify Tepu Xin immediately, Hunchun from Ning Guta is here!"
"What a bastard. Just say that I, Hunchun, have come to fight with him! Get out of here..."
Hiss... the soldier gasped, "Hun... General Hunchun? How is this possible..."
The guard next to Hunchun opened his mouth and cursed, "Aren't you so mean-spirited? Who would blatantly impersonate General Ningguta? Damn it, you don't know him, so of course Tepuxin does, so he said our general was coming to the city, and he hurriedly greeted him. !”
The few soldiers didn't dare to neglect, and they didn't dare to check the identity of the people coming. Looking at these menacing looks, they probably wouldn't show them things like seals and waistbands.
"Forget it, divide the troops into two groups quickly. You two can return to the checkpoint as soon as possible and ride to the city to deliver the message... We are here to accompany them. I think since he dares to meet our general, he must not be a fake!"
After muttering, the veteran turned around and knelt in the snow, "General, please calm down. We are all small soldiers. We have never been in the power of the general. I will send someone to deliver the message..."
"The general must have been working hard all the way through the mountains. There are wine, meat and charcoal grills at the checkpoint in front. Sir, please go and have a rest so that my general can be prepared! Haha... please come this way!"
Without hitting the smiling man, Hunchun naturally would not care about the few big-headed soldiers. He nodded and asked them to lead the way, and the six hundred cavalry began to slowly walk out of the mountain road.
When all the troops were on the post road, the soldiers from Shen'anling realized that Hunchun's name was not just for boasting. Each of these 600 cavalrymen had their scarves wrapped around their faces with only two eyes exposed, and their eyes were as sharp as hawks.
Looking at the straight and steady waists of these soldiers, they can control the horses with just the strength of their legs. The horse reins are useless to them. It can be seen that these people are real practitioners, and their waist and horse skills are absolutely top-notch. .
A young soldier secretly said, "Good guy, why do these people look so infiltrative? Each one of them feels more murderous than those Rakshasa ghosts in Jiangbei..."
"Shhh... keep your voice down, don't you understand now? These are all soldiers trained by Hunchun. You can't accept it. Ten years ago, the imperial court ceded the land east of the Wusuli River. Hunchun didn't believe it and led his troops across the river to follow him. The Rakshasa ghosts fought a battle..."
"Although we didn't win in the end, the Rakshasa ghosts we fought didn't make the matter a big deal, which means it's at least a draw! If he can draw with the Rakshasa ghosts, do you think his soldiers are powerful?"
"Hey...he is such a man! He has the guts! But why do there seem to be women in the team?"
The veteran rushed forward and pinched his mouth. Then he looked around carefully and found that the killing gods did not hear those words, and he was relieved.
He leaned over and cursed in a low voice, "You bastard, you're going to die! How can you chew on matters between adults? Don't forget that Aihun City hanged six talkative trash during this period, you Why do you still want to hit the gun?"
The soldiers were so frightened that they were sweating. This was really not a veteran's bluff. In Aihun City, Tepuxin actually hanged six soldiers recently for fabricating rumors.
Some time ago, there was a rumor in Aihui City that Tepu Xin had received several thousand taels of gold from the Rakshasa ghost. This news was very misleading. When Tepu Xin found out, he became furious and ordered a strict investigation.
In the end, six unlucky soldiers were captured and hanged directly on the city gate tower. In fact, everyone knew that this was the general who was establishing his authority. From then on, no one dared to gossip anymore.
In fact, Hunchun heard the two people's small talk. He didn't care what these soldiers said at all, but the information behind them moved him.
"Huh? Did you collect the Rakshasa ghost gold? Hahaha... Okay, you Tepuxin are really a loyal minister, we have to have some fun this time!"
We were speechless all the way and soon we arrived at the small town of Shen'anling. Six hundred elites stood on the street. The soldiers and civilians in the entire town were frightened. The people hurriedly dragged their children and wives back home, and closed their doors one by one. .
The shops along the street did not dare to close their doors. They were so frightened that they all prayed to Bodhisattva to protect these soldiers from going crazy and robbing everyone's belongings.
Hunchun looked at his watch and said to his men, "Dismount and rest for half an hour, find a shop to eat, and feed the horses fodder!"
"Scum..." Everyone dismounted in response, and the long street suddenly shook.
The checkpoints can only accommodate dozens of officers to rest, while other soldiers can only rest in the shops along the street. All restaurants, restaurants, tea shops, breakfast stalls... and even small shops selling groceries are crowded. soldiers.
For a time, the food in the long street was filled with the aroma of food. Regardless of whether it was delicious or not, it was hot and filling, and a group of people ate to their heart's content.
The attentive boss strangely discovered that a group of these cavalrymen were carrying guys they had never seen before. Many of them were not carrying waist knives from the Qing Dynasty but Japanese Bushido. Even the rifles they carried were A style no one has ever seen before.
It wasn't until the end that something even more surprising happened. These big-headed soldiers actually paid for their meals! They didn't eat and drink for free, and they didn't steal everyone's money. The bosses were so excited that they burst into tears while holding the silver coins that contained their body temperature.
"It's too much! The uncle gave me too much... I really don't need so much!"
"Take it, I'll reward you for the more! If you feel bad about it, just give us some good tea, remember, no wine!"
The common people in ancient times were sincere. In their hearts, soldiers who gave them food and money were the teachers of benevolence and righteousness. They were so excited that they quickly took out the treasured tea and brewed it for these soldiers to drink.
Looking at these well-disciplined troops, many older people thought to themselves, "This is the original appearance of our Eight Banners. If the Rakshasa ghosts came back and had such an army stationed in Aihui, how could we lose?" So miserable?"
"The ancestors will appear. I hope all our Qing Dynasties will be such elite troops and send out more good soldiers..."
